Lakes Golf Course

Overview: Lakes Golf Course in Dairy Flat is an 18-hole short course north of Auckland, built for golfers who want a compact round rather than a full-length championship test. The current scorecard totals about 2,750 metres at par 56, with sixteen par threes and two par fours. That balance makes distance control, short-game accuracy and quick decisions around the greens more important than carrying the course with a driver.

History: The course is associated with the Worsnop Way golf property in Dairy Flat, a rural area between Auckland and the Hibiscus Coast. Current listings identify it as a semi-private course open to guests, with practice facilities and an 18-hole routing. A dependable opening date and architect were not found, so the profile focuses on the course that is currently described rather than attaching an unverified development story.

Did You Know? The 18-hole card contains only two par fours, so most of the round is a test of putting, pitching and distance control. It is an unusual scorecard in a region better known for full-length parkland and resort courses.
